SUMMARY:INSULAR POSSESSIONS: IMPERIAL LEGACIES OF 1898 WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING OF CALL HER GANDA
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the NYU Native Studies Forum\, the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis. \nThe year 1898 has conventionally been regarded as the American “imperial moment\,” when the United States acquired and occupied a number of island nations\, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. One hundred twenty years after the Treaty of Paris\, which ended the Spanish-American War\, as well as the alleged annexation of Hawai‘i\, what have been the legacies and ongoing effects of this “imperial archipelago”? How did the distinct but overlapping colonial practices of Spain and the United States shape social and cultural life? What has been the formal legal and political status of the Philippines\, Guåhan (Guam)\, Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, Samoa\, and Hawai‘i? \nThis half-day symposium ends with a screening of the award-winning documentary Call Her Ganda and Q&A with filmmaker PJ Raval (University of Texas\, Austin). The film follows the fight for justice for Jennifer Laude\, a Filipina trans woman who was murdered by a US serviceman in 2014. The screening is co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.
